We arrive in Bangkok on a baking hot Friday morning. Following our rather soggy encounter with the Philippines we are grateful for the intense sunshine that has graced our arrival. We are quickly reminded by the liquid gushing out of Paul's pore and Amy's shade seeking that we are not designed for heat of this calibre. Anyway the heat is just a side note to our excitement.

Anybody who has been away from home for a long period of time will appreciate how nice it is to be surrounded by familiar faces. We kick started our month, in Sydney with Amy's mum, Pam. After a rather stressful surprise meeting at the airport we headed into Sydney, Pam was excite...
